Explore & Share at 9th World Congress on Biopolymers & Bioplastics, London, UK (A solution for Current & Future Global Predicament) August 26-27, 2019 London, UK: Since 2016, Biopolymer Congress has been contributing successfully to the global scientific research field. 8th World Congress on Biopolymers & Bioplastics was held during June 28-29, 2018 at Berlin, Germany with the theme "Biopolymer- A Drug to heal the nature". Active participation of Scientists, Engineers, Researchers, Students and Leaders from the fields of Polymer Science, plastics, Green technology, medical, and Biomaterials is highly appreciated and made this event a blast. Thanks to all of our Organizing Committee members, honourable guests, wonderful speakers, conference attendees and Media partners. With the success of Biopolymer Congress 2018 at Berlin, we are feeling proud to announce Biopolymer Congress 2019 conference with the theme "A solution for current & future Global predicament", is going to held in London, UK, during August 26-27, 2019. Importance and Scope: Over the past few years, global economic activities have increased a lot. This tremendous growth has raised serious problems about current important patterns of production and consumption. As the current society has increased its attention in understanding of the environmental aspects and its industrial practices, greater attention has been given to the concept of sustainable economic systems that rely on energy from undepletable source and materials. The use of biologically derived Polymers become as an important component of this global world. The history of Biopolymer is not a long one. Various reasons are associated with the research and development of Biopolymers. Use of Bioplastics will make a tremendous change and will help rid of the conventional plastics, which is a welcome change. Why to attend?: To take preventive steps for Global Predicament, Biopolymer Congress 2019 offers a fantastic opportunity to meet and

A new new brain imaging system that can identify a subject's simple thoughts may lead to clearer diagnoses for Alzheimer's disease or schizophrenia - as well as possibly paving the way for reading people's minds. Michael Greicius at Stanford University in California and colleagues used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify patterns of brain activity associated with different mental states. He asked 14 volunteers to do one of four tasks: sing songs silently to themselves; recall the events of the day; count backwards in threes; or simply relax. Participants were given a 10-minute period during which they had to do this. For the rest of that time they were free to think about whatever they liked. The participants' brains were scanned for the entire 10 minutes, and the patterns of connectivity associated with each task were teased out by computer algorithms that compared scans from several volunteers doing the same task. This differs from previous experiments, in which the subjects were required to perform mental activities at specific times and the scans were then compared with brain activity when they were at rest. Greicius reasons his method encourages "natural" brain activity more like that which occurs in normal thought.

Canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) in combination with cluster analysis was used to assess 296 spring wheat lines derived from a cross between Bam (drought tolerant) and Arta (drought sensitive) cultivars using stress tolerance indices, at two

Henry the schnoodle just did a remarkable thing. Understanding a pointed finger may seem easy, but consider this: while humans and canines can do it naturally, no other known species in the animal kingdom can. Consider too all the mental work that goes into figuring out what a pointed finger means: paying close attention to a person, recognizing that a gesture reflects a thought, that another animal can even have a thought.

Foods such as pomegranates, red grapes, pears, mushrooms, lentils, soybeans and green peas contain natural compounds which can activate autophagy, helping to prevent inflammation and gut diseases.

The field of artificial intelligence (AI) has experienced remarkable growth and development in recent years, pushing the boundaries of what was once thought possible. In this article, we'll explore the current state of AI evolution and where this fascinating field is heading in the future. We'll delve into various aspects of AI development, including machine learning, natural language processing, robotics, and AI ethics, as well as the role of quantum computing in AI's future.

Young minds are naturally inquisitive; they have an innate curiosity about all things around them. Natural things or man-made things all make them wonder and the urge to explore them increases. The School Science Lab Equipment by Atico Export staunchly supports the love for science and would appreciate it if their parents, teachers, and facilitators actively participate in the same.

Das Vogelweibchen gibt den Ton an, Current Biology http://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822%2812%2901125-6 "Vogeleltern und andere Artgenossen, die bei der Brutpflege helfen, füttern den Nachwuchs nur dann, wenn der Bettelruf der Jungen das gelernte Passwort enthält", erklärt Studienautorin Sonia Kleindorfer von der Flinders University in Australien. Sie und ihr Team entdeckten den Coderuf eher zufällig, als sie Nester des Prachtstaffelschwanzes beobachteten. Ursprünglich untersuchten die Forscher Alarmrufe, welche die Singvögel im Angesicht von Nesträubern von sich geben. Dabei fiel ihnen das seltsame Verhalten der brütenden Vögel auf: Die Mütter sangen dem ungeschlüpften Nachwuchs einen bestimmten Ton vor. Der spätere Bettelgesang des Nachwuchses ähnelte offenbar dem Ruf der Mütter."

"Seltene Tier- und Pflanzenarten sind für das Funktionieren eines Ökosystems oft extrem wichtig - weil sie Merkmale oder Eigenschaften haben, über die keine oder nur wenige andere Arten in ihrem Lebensraum verfügen. Der Verlust solcher Arten treffe das Ökosystem deshalb als Ganzes schwer, schreibt ein internationales Forscherteam im Fachmagazin "PloS Biology". Auch Artenschutzbemühungen - etwa im Rahmen des Weltrats für biologische Vielfalt - sollten das berücksichtigen, so die Forderung der Wissenschaftler. "

"Sie haben auf der Haut von neun Stink-Frosch-Arten über 700 Substanzen identifiziert, die sich möglicherweise für die Entwicklung neuer Antibiotika eignen. Mit diesen antimikrobiellen Peptiden (AMPs) schützen die Frösche ihre Haut vor Infektionen. Das ist auch nötig, denn die Haut der kleinen Stinker ist immer feucht - in der tropischen Wärme ihrer südchinesischen Heimat wäre das ohne die Schutzsubstanzen ein fataler Nährboden für Bakterien. .. vielversprechend, da sie einen Zwei-Komponenten-Effekt aufweisen: Sie bekämpfen die Bakterien direkt und mobilisieren gleichzeitig das Immunsystem der Frösche, berichten die Wissenschaftler. Ein Antibiotikum mit diesen Eigenschaften wäre der Traum der Mediziner, denn viele krankheitserregende Bakterienarten werden zunehmend resistent gegen die gängigen Antibiotika. Die Forscher betonen, dass die Forschungsarbeiten noch am Anfang stehen, sie sind aber von dem enormen Potential der AMPs ihrer stinkenden Forschungsobjekte überzeugt"
